About this book
Arthur and Rose can’t wait to get back to the Land of Roar, which they access through a portal in an old camp bed in Grandad’s attic.
But just as they are about to leave for a whole two weeks, disaster! Auntie Chaya and baby cousin Lila arrive unannounced and they are stuck on babysitting duty – at least, Arthur is.
Rose spends her time ignoring everyone. She’s writing a very dangerous story about the undiscovered Dragonlands where apprentice dragon riders learn to defend Roar against the creatures of the Deeps. And about a particularly nasty baddie, Jago Skua, who kidnaps children and leaves changelings in their place.
When the children finally get to Roar, fantasy becomes reality and Rose has cause to regret where her imagination has taken her.
This welcome return to the Land of Roar will delight existing fans of the series but can also be enjoyed by readers coming to Roar for the first time.
Meet up with both familiar characters and plenty of new ones at the Dragon Riders Academy. Discover the deadly power of marshmallows and the sinister threat of bludowls, witches and dread sharks. And get to meet dragons; lots and lots of dragons.
